Brumfield — Zach Scruggs’ lawyers looking at appeal
hursday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed his 2008 conviction and sentence should stand.

Now 37, Scruggs was arrested on Nov. 28, 2007, along with his famous litigator father Richard F. “Dickie” Scruggs and three others on multi-count indictments accusing them of conspiracy, wire fraud and attempted bribery of Circuit Judge Henry L. Lackey of Calhoun City.
